“…There are several limitations to this study: although our sample size was larger than several previously published reports, 1,9,12,13,18 a larger study group and increased statistical power may have been able to detect a significant improvement in postoperative handicap. In addition, a larger group may have been able to better detect an association between the change in handicap and the follow-up period, surgical laterality or the implant used.…”

“…1 There are several studies in the total hip and total knee arthroplasty literature that have assessed the effect of total joint arthroplasty on golf participation, driving distance, and handicap. 1,6,12,13,17,28 The effect of total joint arthroplasty on postoperative handicap has been mixed, with some authors reporting a decrease in postoperative handicap 1,6,9,18 and others finding the postoperative handicap to increase. 1,12,13 We sought to determine the impact of TAA on postoperative golf handicap.…”

Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) provides a surgical alternative to tibiotalar arthrodesis when treating endstage ankle arthritis. TAA preserves range of motion at the tibiotalar joint leading to improved postoperative function. Many patients who undergo TAA wish to maintain a high level of activity, including participation in low-impact sports such as golf. There are several studies in the total hip and total knee arthroplasty literature that have looked at the effect of total joint arthroplasty on golf handicap. We hypothesized that similar to hip and knee arthroplasty research, TAA is likely to result in a postoperative increase in golf handicap. Methods: After obtaining institutional review board approval, we retrospectively identified 60 patients (from 140 consecutive TAAs performed between August 2016 and February 2017) who had undergone TAA, played golf pre-and postoperatively, and had at least 1 year of postoperative follow-up. The average postoperative follow-up for the cohort was 28.1 months. Variables including preoperative and postoperative golf handicaps, swing laterality, age, gender, surgical laterality, implant used, and operating surgeon were recorded. Results: The average preoperative and postoperative handicaps were 19.7 and 17.9, respectively, which did not represent a statistically significant difference (P ¼ .07). Patients who played 3 or more rounds per week had better preoperative and postoperative handicaps compared to patients who played 2 rounds or less; however, the change in their handicap following TAA and the number of rounds played per week was not affected. There was no association between the change in handicap and the follow-up period, handedness of golf shot, surgical laterality, implant used, or the operating surgeon. Conclusion: Our findings showed that golf handicap was not negatively affected following TAA in this series. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.

“…The reason for the procedure was eccentric shoulder osteoarthritis in 61% of cases and revision replacement in 31% of cases. In total, 79.2% of patients resumed sports, but this rate varied depending McCarty et al 17 Schumann et al 24 Bulhoff et al 3 Papaliodis et al 22 Simovitch et al 25 Barnes et al 1 Garcia et al 6 Garcia on the type of activity.

“…Eine Befragung von 367 Patienten im Mittel 3,2 Jahre nach anatomischer TEP-Implantation hat ergeben, dass 8 Monate post-OP die Rückkehr zum Golfsport mit signifikant weniger Schmerz, verbesserter Schlagweite und reduziertem Handicap verbunden ist [73].…”
